    Nothing at all

    Great space - beautiful peaceful scenery. Dog friendly which was essential for us. VERY comfy bed, and has some amazing bush walks not far from this location - Curtis falls, cedar creek falls and sky light are the ones we did.

    A hidden gem

    The bed was quite hard and light weight meaning every move to get comfortable or toss and turn meant the bed was moving off the wall. We had real trouble sleeping due to these factors and the amount of light in the room. The back end of the cottage has sliding doors opening out onto the decking area which do have curtains which are able to be closed, however there is a large triangular window above with no covering. As a result, the room is quite light throughout the night, we didn’t once need to turn a light on to get up for anything. The wifi connection was so poor that we were unable to connect to the smart tv without setting up a hot spot from our phones. The use of the tv was a bit of a must for us as we’d just spent a few rainy days in another location with no tv, coming to the mountain during similar weather meant we could at least settle in at night with a movie. The spa bath was a nice addition although we only used it the once due to it being a bit too big (not usually an issue) and being unable to secure ourselves in the bath. We were holding ourselves up by the sides and kept slipping down into the bath due to lack of non slip mats which I understand is due to hygiene reasons.

    Upon entering the grounds and then cottage, we were blown away. The place is gorgeous with so much charm and incredibly quiet. The cottage really was idyllic. If you don’t like hearing every crunch of a twig or creek of the property in the night, it probably isn’t for you due to the level of quiet. The cottages are hidden down away from the main entry of the property which is often used for weddings and functions so most people wouldn’t even realise the cottages were there and it feels like a bit of a hidden gem. We loved that they’d incorporated a mini bar into a cottage environment through the use of the QR code.

    the parking is not right next to the cabin but that's a tiny detail. It is not so close to everything if you weren't driving still not crazy far I would say. Also we had problems with the wifi to watch netflix and that, might have just been us ..

    We did not have breakfast included but they have a little basquet with snacks that you can pay for also drinks in the mini bar. Beautiful and relaxing view, it has a nice balcony area. The bath tub was a nice add on and the size of bathroom/room in general was good

    I think wood could be provided for the wood fire not at a cost of $15. But that would be our only negative comment.

    Had everything you needed for a short stay. Beautiful surroundings and interior design.

    Towels stayed very wet due to the cold conditions, even when put in the living area. Staff were very accomodating to replace when requested. A coffee pod machine would be a great addition.

    The staff were amazing, friendly and very helpful. My fiancé and myself will be returning in the future. I would recommend this cute retreat to all my family and friends. I lost and left my engagement ring in our lodge and the staff team searched everywhere to find it and return it. 10/10. The lodge was clean and the spa was perfect size for 2 people. It was quiet and felt very exclusive only have the 4 other lodges nearby.
